@DanSimonMD, sits down with Matthew Anderson, MD, PhD @TyMillerLab for a deep dive into the brain, from autism to glioblastoma and immune-based therapies. Hear how @Uhhospitals scientists are pushing the boundaries of neuropathology: tinyurl.com/3e2wkfmk

New research led by Andrew Pieper, MD, PhD, shows that restoring the brain's energy balance may have just opened a door to a new era of Alzheimer's therapy focused on recovery and not just slowing decline.

Congratulations to Devashis Mukherjee, MD, @DevashisMukerji @UHRainbowBabies on receiving a K08 grant! His work probing how neutrophils and inflammasomes drive sepsis risk in premature infants promises vital insights and hope for vulnerable babies in the NICU.

Congratulations to Dr. Charles Sawyers, an investigator at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), on receiving the 13th annual Harrington Prize for Innovation in Medicine. Dr. Sawyers, who is Chair of Human Oncology and Pathogenesis Program at MSK and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Investigator, was jointly awarded the prize with Dr. Arul Chinnaiyan, an investigator at the University of Michigan and the HHMI. The award recognizes their transformative discoveries that defined the molecular drivers of prostate cancer and pioneered precision therapies that have reshaped the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer worldwide. Together, Drs. Sawyers and Chinnaiyan have developed the contemporary framework for diagnosis and treatment of advanced prostate cancer and a basis for next generation therapies. The Harrington Prize for Innovation in Medicine recognizes their impact on improving outcomes in this deadly disease. Dr. Sawyers also holds the Marie-Josée and Henry R. Kravis Chair in Human Oncology and Pathogenesis at MSK. Learn more: bit.ly/41UnLyI
